Fire hydrants to be tested

August 10, 2007|From Staff Reports

Weather permitting beginning about 8 a.m. Monday, the Aberdeen Fire Department will begin flow-testing fire hydrants in the areas from South Roosevelt Street to Brown County Highway 14 between Milwaukee Avenue and Melgaard Road. Included in this area are the Super Wal-mart, Lakewood Mall and the Aberdeen Regional Airport areas. The fire department will open hydrants, and residents will experience some water pressure changes, and in some instances the water will be disturbed to the point of discoloring or appearing rusty. The project will continue until completed in this portion of the city until all hydrants have been tested. Any questions or problems can be reported to the Public Works Department at (605) 626-7010.
